UiPath Reviews

I am responsible for developing and improving RPA-software bots in my organisation. The processes we work on improving are in the field of finance. We started using UiPath and RPA as a technology about two years ago and are still improving and growing.

It is implemented within a larger strategy of optimizing processes in our organisation. The tasks which have been identified and thereafter automated with UiPath are now more efficient, achieving savings in personnel and improving quality in some fields.

The most valuable feature is the UiPath Studio, the graphical coding software, which has high usability and modern appearance. The number of functions is very good and is still being improved upon. These features allow you to fastly implement automation projects. Furthermore, it is quite easy getting started.

The attended bot functionality is in need of improvement. The use cases are rare and the licences are quite expensive (in relation to the use possibilities we see) for attended bots - Therefore we are currentlying neither using or planning to use them.

I have been using UiPath for nine months.

I have to say that I am overall very happy with the software and do see little need to give them advice. They have implemented a lot of new things over the past months.

We use UiPath to automate multiple flows for our client. We have flows in multiple stadia: development, acceptance, and prod.

UiPath is the first RPA tool I've used, but it seems to me that it is the best of what is currently available on the market. It is very easy to use, and you'll be able to automate your first flow in a matter of.

• Extraction of complete tables from websites automatically extracts data from multiple pages by indicating the 'next page' button. 
• The newly launched Computer Vision functionality also seems very interesting.

The licensing model is for me still a little bit confusing. There are a lot of different license types for the robots, which makes it difficult to comprehend in what case you should use which license type. 

Most error types are very clear, which makes it very easy to debug the flows, but from time to time some general error messages might pop up (Object not set to an instance of an object), without specific reference, which makes it a lot harder to find the error.

I wanted to learn this platform to widen my breadth of knowledge and to have more options in my RPA toolbox. 

I am using it to help individuals, entrepreneurs and enterprises achieve the throughput, accuracy and additional capacity they require. I recently certified on the platform and find it quite satisfying to work with.

One great feature is relatively simple, and that is the ability to pause a recording and resume it. When debugging UiPath's ability to slow down its execution speed, visually identify UI elements it's interacting with while simultaneously showing the activity line it is working on is priceless. Coming from a lean process improvement background, I can appreciate this being implemented in a software application.

• The ability to search for activity lines in your code in the outline view would be great. Just type, and it would filter it in a way that you could click and jump to it. 
• It would be nice to have a centralized debugging tool for issues with arguments passing (missing/type) so as to easily detect problems.

SAP automation.

Helped to automate a more productive process and cost-cutting.

Orchestrator mobile app for ease of access.

Cost wise and other DB support for Orchestrator.

Automating PDF documents, data extraction, and using it as an input to web applications with efficient time management.

Now we have vendor PDFs that are automated by UiPath which reduce the cost and save time on a three-FTE basis.

Data scraping is used to extract tables in web applications and provide iterative action to the tables based on the conditions.

Selector fails in iterative action so the next release must focus on selector related issue, and also, improvement is needed in its stability.

Poor stability.

The scalability of the product is good during deployment.

We switched from AutomationEdge because of vendor issues.

$100k.

I'm most concerned about Orchestrator's price.

ROI and scalability.

We are automating all transaction-based processes, primarily in the finance department and sales operations. With this, the personnel involved in these transaction-based activities have been able to start working on more value-added tasks like data analysis and performance management of the operation.

UiPath automation has enabled different organizations with the possibility to redeploy personnel involved in transaction-based activities to do more value-added tasks like data analysis and performance management of the operation.

This automation has not only reduced processing time but also eliminated human errors, driving an improvement in quality scores and CTQs.

Development is straightforward and simple; it uses object-oriented coding by doing drag and drop. The deployment process is quick and easy with great features for testing and troubleshooting.

Reusable components library is an excellent source of information and content to ease and speed up the development process. This feature, combined with a robust infrastructure creates an excellent foundation for driving automation to the next level.

Engagement during the proof of concept period could have been better in regards to the implementation and follow-up. Also, after completing the PoC, we should have done a review of the critical learning and aspects of the application to determine the next steps based on the objectives of the company.

Automating HR related processes that need update validation before it proceeds to the next level.

UiPath reduces manual efforts which result in efficient and time-saving automation and result in the benefit of the organization in terms of ROI.

Cognitive analysis is the most valuable feature because it helps to launch our automation smartly with many integrations.

While running the code, if we want to pause it we can't, so it results in some exceptions for attended bots.

I use UiPath primarily for implementing automation solutions to client companies. The use cases can vary a lot from client to client.

Regarding all the solutions that we have provided as a company, we were able to give our clients better efficiency and the ability to distribute their employees' work to more "important" matters.

The traditional click and input features are very valuable, to begin with. Also, the ability to interact with virtual machines through Citrix is very useful!

There are still a lot of things that could be improved, like the identification of elements on the screen, the error handling, etc.
